En novembre dernier, j’ai passé cinq semaines en résidence en Finlande. Ce séjour en Finlande est le cinquième d’une série qui a commencé il y a 9 ans en 2015. Les précédentes résidences étaient destinées à composer des musiques pour les spectacles chorégraphiques de mon camarade Saku Koistinen ou pour quelques tournées avec lui et Laura sa compagne. Dans ce contexte, j’étais donc bien occupé par les réunions, les répétitions,…
La quatrième édition des Aérolithes aura lieu autour de Saint-Brieuc du 17 janvier au 9 février 2025. Comme d’habitude, cette édition est propulsée par Le Logelloù, Centre de création musicale, l’Ensemble Sillages, l’Ensemble Nautilis et la Cie des Musiques Têtues. Vous trouverez le programme complet ainsi que tous les renseignements nécessaires sur le site du Logelloù. J’ai la joie de participer à quelques séquences de cet événement et j’espere vous y rencontrer…
À la suite d’un cycle de presque 10 ans de résidences, de créations et de tournées en Finlande, je commence en 2025 l’écriture d’une pièce musicale électroacoustique. Elle sera composée et interprétée sur mes trois instruments de prédilection : le bandonéon, Logelloop et le field recording. Certaines parties seront totalement acoustiques au bandonéon. D’autres seront électroacoustiques et comme souvent, Logelloop y aura une grande place dans la transformation et la…
Max? What is Max? Max is a visual programming language that was created at Ircam between 1985 and 1990 and is used by a huge number of artists who want to develop sound or visual creation applications. Max is also the language we use to develop Logelloop. After nearly 15 years as a Max beta tester, several invitations to events about Max and computer tools for music, and a crucial…
I always get the same pleasure out of setting dance or circus to music. Here, with circus artist Hélène Bou, it’s a bit of both. This will be a show for corde lisse in which the performance is substantial, with Hélène staying on the rope for over 30 minutes. But it is also a dance performance, a weightless dance in which every gesture counts. What we see is not the…
While we’re putting the finishing touches to Logelloop 6.1, which should arrive in a few days’ time, I’d like to inform you that we’re organising a professional training course from 14 to 18 October 2024 and that there are still a few places available. The course is aimed at musicians who want to launch effects, sound designers who want to create new sounds, sound engineers who want to use Logelloop…
On May 3, 4 and 5, it’s party time at Logelloù! We’re celebrating 20 years of using Logelloop software, our real-time sound creation tool. We’ll start on Friday 3rd with an evening in memory of Michel Aumont, who was the first to use Logelloop on stage, and whose musical composition for clarinet strongly influenced the software’s first features. That evening, after watching an extract from one of Michel’s concerts, we’ll…
Exactly 20 years ago today, Michel Aumont created the show Souffles en boucles and I was the sound engineer. It was at Carré Magique, in Lannion, directed at the time by Roger Le Roux, Solange Grégam and Dominique Maréchal. Souffles en Boucles was Michel’s first solo for clarinet and looper, and I suggested spatializing the loops on an 8-speaker system. Michel had composed the basis of the music on the…
In November 2023, I was invited by the Musée Mathurin Méheut to create a soundtrack for some of the museum’s paintings. At the end of the torchlight tour, the group of visitors were invited to take part in a sound effects workshop to create sound for the monumental work entitled ‘The Sea’. Before starting to produce sound, we analysed the sound content of the painting. ‘La Mer’ depicts a large…
Last days of a 5-week residency in Finland. I arrived in the snow near the frozen lake of Ahilammentie to compose the music for the show Slap! At the request of choreographer Saku Koistinen. The show was written in the Finnish forest and is designed to be performed among the trees. Saku well knows my affection for sound writing in public spaces and this is probably one of the reasons…
